Lets see them Muffler mod pics

[scotclayshooter]

here's pictures of one i have to clean it up still.....(hope they show up...first picture post)
it looks bad but 5 minutes and only a mig welder...no other tools cept dremel so had to weld with muffler on..,,:jawdrop:

maybe a little more practice on the mig wouldnt go wrong!
to make a tidy job with a mig you need to make all the metal your welding bare with no rust or paint.
also use a shade of filter you can see though i use an autochange mask set at #9 but use a #8 sometimes i find i cant see what im doing on thin metal with low settings with a #10.

hey nikko. good to see you all PPE'd up and leaving your son high and dry. lol

kidding.

good times i bet

 

[Nikko]

LOL!!

Yeah, I know - believe me! I buried the bar by about 18" before I turned it over to him, and I wasn't even planning to do that. But I glanced up at him, saw "the look" in his eye and got him on the mill before he had a chance to say no.

I've never seen his chest so puffed up as it was when he packed that slab away

well ...
scotclayshooter,...it was a strange situation i was hoping not to explain...and i agree totally....but i had one night to do it because the next morning was the only night id get to run it for a month(and i HATE waiting if i can do anything about it) and i only know one guy with a welder....so i borrowed a friends truck(long story) who need it back an hour later. drove across town, cut everything up, hook up welder,immediately got a phone call saying bring truck back soon, so left muffler on, and just did what i could, said thank you , owe you one ....or two, and left...oh..and it was 10pm and outside with a dim porch light...but im happy w/ it//kinda kool looking to me..but im new to this stuff...(just thought i'd let you know i'm not completely stupid when it comes to working with my hands....although doing all this at night instead of waiting a month might go against me in not thinking correctly category.... )

LOL who cares what it looks like as long as it works! but i would re-touch it in a month if it was mine. you might want to resize those photos in future anyone on dial up would have to let them load for a week!!
let us know how it cut?
i cant belive the difference it made to mine
rep coming your way once i reload

it worked pretty good yesrterday, but could not get it to idle at all, finally gave up..but it cuts much stronger...20inch square tooth and if i use the dawgs, i can pull hard with one arm on the tank handle in oak that's been cut down for about 3-4 months, but if i cut straight down without turning the saw by using dawgs, it will literally let me lean over it, but after a while the low end finally gives out. :greenchainsaw:

I guess you reset the carb? mine had opposite problem as idle was way too high untill i adjusted ALL the settings! did your saw have limiter caps?

 

[Brownpot Deaton]

yeah limiter caps....i can get it to idle pretty rough but the idle is so high the chain spins. can i jet "cut" the tabs off the plastic heads on the adjustments or do i have to remove other stuff?

If this is for your 359 husky yeah it you have a good exacto knife I suppose you could slice them off,,, but if the screws have a spring on them I would just remove them/pry them straight off,,,and Chunk them!!!!!!

They should slide off with a little persuasion,,,,,, once you get them off then you can base line the carb a good place to start is do a search on carbtune with madsens in it and you should find a link to the Madsens Archived carb tuning webpage,,,, it is all you need,,,, I have it as a favorite on my P/C @ home but not on this Computer,,,, gently bottom out the L&H then back them out to 1+1/4 and go from there,,,,,, If you have any trouble make sure when you are tuning that you have @ lweast 1/2 a tank of fresh fuel mix and warm the saw up good,,,,,

Isn't about time for a GTG @ the Aggiewoodbutchr's

OK I've been reading this thread and didn't want folks to get discouraged thinking this muffler mod stuff is hard or that it requires a welder or a lot of time and skills they don't have.

I've posted this before but here’s the muffler cover on my MS260.

And here's the one on my MS460

I pulled the screens on both, and you'll want to open up the cages inside the case as well. Both done with a $6.00 carbide bit on my dremel tool, only took about 15 minutes each including disassembly/assembly time, work time, and clean up.

The nicest part is it only takes a few minutes to put the screens back into there factory locations if I'm going to be cutting on state or federal ground.

I've got welders, torches, rods, and all the tools I need but why make it harder than it needs to be. I'll likely do the "pipe" type mod on the 084 when I get it done but only because it's not practical to do it the other way. All of my other saws have the same type mod I posted above.

[Brownpot Deaton]

i agree...

yeah..i think i have that book marked too..i just did not have a computer...i guess i should've remembered anyway, but i was soo excited...yeah i think it is time for another get together..didn't he mention finding an old 090 he was thinking about buying? not that he needs it! that 084 is demon!!!! i didn't want to touch it...but i think i may this time...

Nahhh!!! Ive always wanted one,,,, we have one but it is my Uncles and it is not gonna be touched,,,, it runs real good,,,, I just wanted one to Mod after I ran Jareds,,,,

I think Envious is a better choice of words,,,, will deck the cylinder/radius the piston to give it some compression then widen the Exhaust port and give it a little intake timing advance and of course work on the transfers a bit and a muffler mod for sure!!!! this thread is about Muffler Mods Eh??????? just trying to stay on toipic.....

With some of the muffler mods I have seen on this thread, it makes me wonder if suckback will become an issue. There is a lot more possibility with the larger orfices.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:

Seriously, I loved the different pics. I have got to get busy on my first.

[kevin j]

madsens in it and you should find a link to the Madsens Archived carb tuning webpage,,,, it is all you need,,,, I have



has madsens1 site moved? It's been gone for a year or more, when I wrote them long time back they said hacked, apparently not intending to put it back together.

Was an awesome site for information and if its back up I'd like to know where.
